Missing my old outdoorsy hobbies 🫩

It would be cool to try and forage fruit to make jam, pies or try to brew some fruit wine (assuming enough fruit can be found for any of it).

Unfortunately I’m not physically up to it, still struggling to eat and can’t really drink alcohol, and don’t want to be going about in this area.

so many hugs

then bring the outdoors to you 🙂 Bird feeders, a nice garden, pets and such. Try astronomy, cloud watching etc etc. The world is all around us.
